The virtue that I have chosen is silence.The virtue silence means speak not but what may benefit others or yourself; avoid trifling conversation.There are several reasons why I chose this virtue, one of them being that I want to learn how to think about what I say before I say it.Also I want to learn how to not talk about other people if its not good. These few things are examples of the virtue silence and i will be happy if i can accomplish these things. Now that I have chosen my virtue, which is silence, I need to work on how to perfect it.First of all I will have to learn how to control what I say and how to think before I speak.This shouldn’t be too hard for me to do if I work hard at it.The next step to perfecting my virtue would be to not gossip or talk about other people behind their back.I don’t do this much in the first place so I should be able to do it.

Perfecting my virtue of silence has been a little more difficult than i origanally expected. I have realized that silence is difficult for me because i am a highschool teenager who likes to talk alot. I still talk out in class a lot, which i need to cut down on a little. I am starting to think about what i say a little more but i have yet to catch myself before i say it.

Today was a good day for me in terms of my virtue of silence. A girl in my school said something very disrepectful about an event that happend this past week. Many people were mad at her ; i was expecially mad because because this event affected my life greatly. I could have confronted this girl and started a problem with her , but instead i kept my mouth shut and didnt say anything.
